Friday Podcast: ShareResults Founder And CEO Nicky Senyard

This was one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve conducted in the Friday Podcast series.

Nicky Senyard, originally from Australia, is an affiliate marketing veteran, having founded two affiliate networks – the ShareResults affiliate network and Income Access focused on online gaming.

I’ve known Income Access affiliate manager Jamie Fortunaso from the forums for close to 2 years and his professionalism has always been apparent. It’s no wonder that Nicky has created one of the most personable and enjoyable networks to work with.

During our discussion we covered a gamut of topics including:

  • Business considerations when merchants add affiliate marketing to their sales/distribution channels
  • How the affiliate-to-network and merchant-to-network relationships can be enhanced
  • Geographic growth of affiliate marketing opportunities across North America/Canada, Europe and Asia

Merchants and affiliates will get some great content out of this session.

Friday Podcast: Web Design That Increases Conversions With Ryan Jackson

ryan jacksonOne of my resources that I’ve mainly been keeping to myself over the past 2 years is a talent web designer who lives in a small (population 10,000) Australian town of Maryborough.

Ryan Jackson AKA DesignGuruRyan, developed the template for this blog and designed and created almost all my product and affiliate sites too. (I take credit for the ugly ones…)

Besides my sites, Ryan’s also been involved with the site design for Mike Filsaime’s 7FigureSecrets and Chris McNeeney’s DayJobKiller product websites.

During our discussion, we talked about:

  • Offline design vs online web design
  • Incorporating direct response marketing elements into your web design
  • The rise of “Web 2.0” design elements in websites (and how to incoporate them)
  • Bootstrapping design resources for marketers on a budget

Friday Podcast: Affiliate Marketing and Affiliate OPM Tips With Loxly

loxly AKA Deborah Carney by BillyKayWhen I first started reading Haiko De Poel’s ABestWeb affiliate marketing forum, one of the things that mystified me was this lady who said she was going around giving people Loxly hugs at Affiliate Summit.

It’s no surprise that Deborah Carney AKA Loxly has built up significant goodwill through her journey as an affiliate, affiliate manager and currently, affiliate outsourced program manager (OPM).

Loxly is one of my secret resources and I find myself consulting her on business building and marketing strategies. The fact that she posts prodigiously on ABW and is available nearly 24-7 on Skype says a lot about her commitment and work ethic to the affiliate industry.

Besides catching her session at the recent Affiliate Summit West 08 in Vegas at the ABW panel discussion, you can also tune into the latest edition of the Friday Podcast where we discussed:

  • Affiliate strategies for new affiliates
  • How and when merchants should evaluate and engage outsourced (affiliate) program managers
  • The content management system of choice for affiliates

Liberally sprinkled with Loxly wisdom.
